\n
\n

Laser processing with an ultrashort pulse laser allows surfaces to be microstructured with very high precision.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultrashort pulse laser evaporate<\/strong> the material in focus due to the very high light intensities. Melt or processing residues <\/strong>cannot <\/strong>be found <\/strong>on the work piece, which makes the processing clean and post-processing-free.
The micromachining by laser ablation therefore has a high technical potential<\/strong> and is already used in a wide variety of areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The laser is suitable for micrometer accurate<\/strong> machining of tools and ceramics, for the roughening of materials for bonding or joining processes<\/strong> and also for the functionalization of surfaces like the friction minimization<\/strong> or resistant marking<\/strong> .
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no limits to the type of microstructuring and the micrometer-accurate introduction of individual structures or even a full-surface structuring<\/strong> of components is possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Laser microstructuring of stainless steel and hard metal for the production of replicative tools<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laser microstructuring has increasingly established itself as a process for tool technology<\/strong>.
In addition to maximum geometric and material flexibility<\/strong>, the main advantages of laser structuring are the small structure sizes and surface roughnesses that can be achieved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the fully digital process chains<\/strong> allow fast design changes with a significant impact on production flexibility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
